Housing is central to the quality of life in our communities, to the economy and to the environment. The Private Rented Sector plays an important part in successful housing markets and is an important tenure of choice for those not seeking home ownership. It offers convenience, flexibility, and accessibility.
Maidstone Borough Council is committed to ensuring that the Private Rented Sector is well run and is strong. Please see below for more information about what the Council currently provides for Tenants in Maidstone.
